As I walk these narrow streets where a million passin' feet have gone before me
With my guitar in my hand suddenly I realize nobody knows me
Well yesterday the multitudes screamed and cried my name out for a song
Now the streets are empty and the crowds they've all go one home
With the rain on my face there's no place where I belong
And my whole life consists of a story, a poem and a song
Now the truths I've tried to tell you are as distant as the moon
Born a hundred years too late two hundred years too soon
I'm a child of the sage lost in the pages of a book
But when I'm dust and clay will other people stop and take a look?
And will they marvel at the miracles and perform and to the heights I aspire?
Or will they take the pages of the book to light of fire?
With the rain on my face there's no place where I belong
